One can probably count the number of people who doubt Mahomes’ credibility and athletic prowess, that earned him a contract with such a hefty sum, on their fingertips.
There must be something that the Chiefs saw in their quarterback. Otherwise, why would they initiate the most expensive sports contract that the world has ever witnessed? And a day after history was made, NFL posted a throwback video of the Super Bowl LIV final between the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers on their Instagram account.
